Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.

M(–2, 1) and N(–3, 2)


A (–0.5, –0.5)

B (0.5, –0.5)

C (–3, –5)

D (–2.5, 1.5)

Answer 1

Answer 2

The given points are:
(-2,1) and (-3,2)

The x-coordinate of the midpoint can be calculated as follows:
Xmidpoint = (x1+x2) / 2
Xmidpoint = (-2-3) / 2 = -2.5

The y-coordinate of the midpoint can be calculated as follows:
Ymidpoint = (y1+y2) / 2
Ymidpoint = (1+2) / 2 = 1.5

Therefore, the midpoint of the segment is (-2.5 , 1.5)
Comparing this with the choices, we will find that the correct choice is D
